AC_MSG_ERROR was used in an argument of AX_BOOST_BASE. Could it possibly be that AX_BOOST_BASE wasn't expanded and that this is a consequence? I.e. red herring. > 2.

Unfortunately this endedt up in: Could it be that you miss a build dependency on autoconf-archive here? I attempted a cross build. It succeeded after adding autoconf-archive to Build-Depends and adding m4/ax_boost_base.m4 (but not the others) to debian/clean. Helmut
